around 30 in city and 35-36 on highways

There is no need to maintain the 5000rpm thingy at all. The bike should be run in at all rev ranges normally. The owners manual doesnt say anything about maintaining any rpm range. It only says avoid sudden acceleration and launching at higher rpms till first service

They quoted 28k. I'm yet to get a concrete figure as I'm yet to receive the parts. Will update this thread as and when my bike is repaired.

P.S. In fact restored is a better word for my bike.

Please do PM me their no. That way I'll be able to have an idea. Thanks.

@Nithesh thanks u very much for this valuable information

Silencer shield

They did not do any kind of diesel wash in my case because i stand when my bike is washed or serviced. But i still have this ugly looking blotched shield and the explanation is as per the ASC guy. He told me that if you peel off the lacquer then there will not be any change in color. Let me talk to the HMSI people and see if i can convince them to change it for all the people who are facing this issue.

I guess in this thread only the breakin is discussed at length. You can search for it.
As far as riding below 5K is concerned you can ride your bike as fast as you want just remember below points:
1. no sudden change of speed. Do not accelerate or decelerate suddenly.
2. Warm up you bike till 3 temperature bars before you start to rip her (this is my personal gyan so you can ignore it if you want )
3. Your oil change interval should be as per your riding style. If you like red lining your bike very often, change your oil frequently (if company tells you to change at 6K, change at 4K).

Do google and you will find so much about break in. If you can try sticking to manual, it will give you a smoother bike.

Hope it helps.

Fuel consumption update..

after nearly a month took my baby ceeber for a night ride and decided to fill her up she gobbled 7.66 l of speed and the trip meter showed 250.6 kms so the avg. comes out to be 32.72 km/l not bad since i ride her mainly in the city and occasionally on the highway. the odo meter now stands 1608 kms nearly 3 months after she came in my life. after the change of the fork bush and the foot rests there are no more vibrations and the bike is more stable and lot more enjoyable to ride. touched 146 km/hr just few minutes ago. The only grouse which remains is the road noise from the continental tyres they produce such a noise that at times you are fooled that the tyre is puntured is there any solution to end this road noise? this bike is so much fun to ride and you will fall in love with this baby ceeber in no time. happy munching miles

plz help me guys recently i changed my engine oil and after changing it i noticed engine over heating i can feel the heat air in my foot as manual i used 10w30 Honda engine oil but the temperature bar is only 3 and i can also hear the sound that electric fan starts even after i stop the engine it never happened before i'm so worried that's why i didn't even start my bike whole day plz help is there anything wrong with my engine oil or what is the possible fact please help me guys thanks

You mean to say the fan turns on after u use the engine Kill switch yes?
If so its normal,
If you mean the fan turns on after u turn off the ignition key, then it isnt normal.
Engine does heat up on my bike aswell.

Yipee! Great |NEWS

Am really happy for you buddy!!!! of course coz i can smell a ride around the corner...

You mean to say the fan turns on after u use the engine Kill switch yes? Oh yes i meant that

Oh but why my bike's engine heating up after i change the engine oil ? I'm scared whether 10w30 grade is normal for my bike or not if it's normal then should i start using my bike again?

limited edition cbr 250

hi guys finaly took delivery of my cbr 250 wich i guess is only exclusive to me in mumbai..multi coloured with black, white, blue, red and golden boundry. Pics coming tomorw morning

congrats bro....meanwhile has honda launched a limited variant or you have asked them to prepare your bike like that

asked to prepare my bike like that.. Pictures wil upload in sometime. See it and tel me how it is.

Actualy i had this red n silver cbr but my bro slipped it on gravel, resulting in fairing scratches handle bent and what not. So thats when it came in my mind to give new colour wich is WRB theme of honda coz as it is red n silver became quiet common and i wanted something wich would make other cbr owners turnaround too.

waited for 20days n finally got it with awesome finishing n detailing

Please upload the pics fast.... how much did it cost u for the paintjob and did you do it from the honda service centre itself and lastly how is the quality(finishing) of the paint?

Thanks vikram..!! Yes.. I should be riding now, else no point getting a CBR..
Congrats to you too once again
